Understanding 9/11tv Oregon Politics and Government CSPAN July 3, 2017 5:18pm-5:31pm EDT
5:18 pm
. >> here in portland oregon named after the governor with strong environmental policies and looking at the
5:19 pm
complexities of oregon politics. and with that conservative populism and that second part of that but after we discussed what it looks like it is the edited volume there are 14 with considerable discussion liberal verses conservative to capture a the to use education and to develop policies that work well and that is why we chose them. had with those conservatives
5:20 pm
in what i really want to emphasize and a lot of rhetoric was very populist and then on the conservative side but then we have bad district head everybody should have a say end participate so we chose those trends with that type of conservatism and liberalism. and then with that machine
5:21 pm
and then to see that it was the republican machine it was all tied into the railroad and transportation industry. but it initially and many farmers began to feel that the government was not thinking about that. and with that urban middle class. and then as part of that progressive movement. and with those political reforms.
5:22 pm
>> but the most important political figure and trusting the democracy and to have that initiative of the referendum with the early history of oregon. so that typical process they get in enough signatures they to do a proposed a lot. as part of the 19th century we reviewed that initiative so there was a little bit of a slowdown in the '80s up until about 10 years ago so was considered a progressive reform so the negative head buzzes and
5:23 pm
then to be brought directly in with of money -- with those primary elections oregon is one of the earliest but it was the first date to make sure the senators not just by the state legislature in with those preferences of the public. so we have that initiative to be introduced and then to appoint somebody to have a u.s. senator to represent the people love this state. and then to have those colorful politicians the forties up through the '90s
5:24 pm
in very difficult from the rest of the nation. it was called the tiger of the u.s. senate. added to become an independent and a democrat and then to talk about hatfield part of the hatfield school of government and then governor then u.s. senator to be a republican but very liberal. and the one that the everybody talks about it with those politics back in the '70s and to be called
5:25 pm
the senator of oregon politics. en to give it the reform effort. so to talk about organ and political history and the interesting thing about tom mccall is and bob was the leading democrat for many years. and was the governor four times when -- reenforce times and then elected once. and then say that is a good
5:26 pm
idea we should do that. but just to match that in the republican turns around to say that is a good idea let's do that. but that is what looked like in the '70s and '80s. >> soul in the 1990's to be better more effectively so throughout the 1990's that day have to respond and he became very effective he turned the process into a business so innocence could make money without putting initiatives on the ballot so
5:27 pm
then you see one initiative after the other so he was the most important player. because even though he did not serve in the legislature to put that initiative bombed of valid -- on the ballot. but at 1.writing this book we talked about the progressives and we got that could be the initiative process because it was such a big deal and such a big part of the state's politically what was going on that was every single chapter that we talk about in their. when we talk about the governor and running for governor one year he was
5:28 pm
defeated and had all of these things on his agenda that he would do but they said you need to be about these if you want to run the initiative in the next campaign. if you dollars a there was a brand new governor elected in and they said you have to do what is the end of the legislature. so one of the interesting things right now is through the embassy of oregon we have a woman who is speaker of the house in the majority leader of the senate and the house with the democratic caucus as the majority of women so it is the important
5:29 pm
role that women are playing. i want them to recognize in some cases it is portrayed that that is the dignity of physician assisted suicide with a $15 minimum wage and things like that. there is also a very conservative side of the page like small towns it is it just what you see on television but more than that. >> next to my reading last
5:30 pm
israeli fantastic book giving have heard about is wonderful there is it the issue i have been looking into it it talks about the struggles mightily in appellation of but throughout the country. [inaudible conversations]
